Am I Wry No Tab

Okay, I really like this song - it's the version from the album 
Half the world is watching me from 2000 although I don't think 
it's very different from the version on the boring Frengers album. 

I did this tab with an acoustic guitar and that's probably reflected 
in the fingering in some of the chords but overall I'm fairly satisfied 

Tuning: EADGBe

There are three guitars: 

Guitar 1 is played with a capo on the 3rd fret,
Guitar 2 is played with a capo on the 3rd fret,
Guitar 3 is an acoustic with a capo on the 1st fret
